Re: Why don't I ever see robots that steer like a car

What I'd like to see is a tractor-style turning mechanism. 3 CIMs on 1 transmission that drives 2 rear wheels from a differential. To turn, all you do is brake the side you want to turn to. Put unpowered omnis on the front and BAM there you go -- seems easy enough right?
